gnttab: split gnttab_map_frame()

If a domain tries to map status frames in parallel to switching grant
table version from 2 to 1, the mapping operation may put in place P2M
entries referencing MFNs which gnttab_unpopulate_status_frames() is in the
process of freeing.

Ideally we would refcount pages when entered into P2M tables, but that's a
significant change. Extend the grant-table-locked region instead in
xenmem_add_to_physmap_one() (being the sole caller of gnttab_map_frame()),
such that a race with gnttab_unpopulate_status_frames() is no longer
possible.

This is XSA-486 / CVE-2026-23558.

Fixes: 5ce8fafa94 ("Dynamic grant-table sizing")
Fixes: a98dc13703 ("Introduce a grant_entry_v2 structure")
